FrontEndUsers and {edit} tag

Hello, here am I again for you not to miss me too long  ;D

I've installed FrontEndUsers (all ok),

I wanted to install CustomContent but it claims for 0.13 beta4 and doesn't work with 0.12.2

So I tried {edit} tag.

And there's a problem. Edit only works at front end if you're presently registered at back end.

So I wonder... what use is an Front End editing capability if you need to be running at back end at the same time for it to work ??

No use if I Front End register as member of a group who exists at back end and have permissions.

(I create Authors group in both front and back end, with page editing permissions. Doesn't allow editing if I'm not running back end at the same time).

I must be missing something....

Here comes the question :

- How can I have a group of "Authors" with editing capability at front end ?

Am I doing something wrong ?

I feel interested in CustomContent together that I try not to use beta versions...
So what ... ?  ;D

Keep on this GREAT work !!

I'm back with more about his problem.

This is what I have on my template :

{cms_module module=FrontEndUsers}
{cms_module module=CustomContent}
   

Auteur {edit}

You don't have authorization to see this content


So that, when I register as a front end user, I can check group is correct and so is the test cause the wird "Auteur" does appear.

BUT {edit} doesn't work. The "Edit this page" commend doesn't not appear on the page.

It only works if there's is a back end session running at the sam time. That's means if you're not registered ad an admin, {edit} donesn't work.
Of course, permissions for the group "Auteur" are all active.

What happens, how can I resolve the problem ?

Unfortunately, You can't (yet).

The frontend, and the backend are two completely different user databases. 

However, I just thought of a method whereby, with some coding, I could allow this to happen..... A "map this group to the backend" property, which I have yet to implement, but once I do, it should be possible to log both into the frontend and the backend simultaneously.
